She was like looking into a mirror. Or reading a book I've always had but only skimmed through. 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 was the oldest daughter in her family. The first try. The first mistake. She carried responsibility like it was stitched into her bones. Moving to Ireland was meant to be a new start-a quiet hope that distance from London might soften the edges of everything. But it hasn't. Of course it hasn't. It's just given her a new place to hold everything together, again. Emory is fraying, but she can't let it show. Her siblings need her steady. They need her unbreakable. And that's what she makes herself. 𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐆 𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐂𝐇 moves through the world like nothing can touch him. Easy confidence-sharp tongue. Untouchable on the Hurling pitch. He's the boy the teachers don't know what to do with, he's brilliant, but careless-Always needing something to challenge him, or else he's distracted. But underneath all that easy is something unsteady. His childhood was built on volatility. An angry father, a numb mother-and when the fire took them both, Tadhg didn't know what to do. How to live in the soft moments, the quiet-he wasn't even sure what that was. He carries the quiet, suffocating guilt of survival-the feeling that every breath he takes is stolen from his mother, who never got to keep hers. _________________ 𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐆𝐇 𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐱 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 (𝐎𝐂)

Before London, before the lies, and before she left without looking back, Rowena Biggs and Nina Feely were inseparable. Childhood best friends turned first loves, they were the kind of girls everyone thought would last forever - until Rowena shattered Nina's heart and disappeared from Ballylaggin for years. Now, at seventeen, Rowena's back like nothing ever happened. Same sharp tongue, same devastating smile, same ability to ruin Nina with a single look. But Rowena didn't come back alone. She came back with bruises she won't explain, secrets she keeps too close to her chest, and an obsessive ex who refuses to let her go. Desperate for a way to protect herself, she asks the last person she should ever ask for help: Nina. Fake dating Rowena Biggs was supposed to be simple. Convince everyone they're together, scare off the ex, and survive senior year without killing each other. Easy. Except Nina still remembers every promise Rowena broke. And Rowena still looks at her like she's the only girl in the world. Some loves never really die. They just wait for the right moment to destroy you all over again.

Mallory Lynch was sixteen when Phoenix Feely ruined her. He was eighteen. A guitarist in a sticky Cork pub band. My mam's best friend's son. The boy my Da warned me to stay away from. Phoenix didn't want me either. Too young. Too sweet. Until he did. But one late-night gig. One jealous glance. One stolen kiss. And suddenly, I was his favorite mistake. First love feels like freedom... Until it breaks you.

Georgia O'Neill's always been the strong one. Since losing her parents, she's been holding her world together - looking after her brother, working extra hours, pretending she's fine when everything's crumbling. She's not used to people staying. Not used to anyone caring enough to see past the mask. Then there's DJ Lynch - Tommen's golden boy. Loud, funny, full of charm. The kind of lad who makes life look easy. But when the laughter fades, DJ's left with thoughts he can't quiet, grades slipping through his fingers, and a fear that if anyone knew how bad it really gets - they'd stop looking at him the same. They're both pretending for different reasons. Both breaking in ways no one else can see. And somehow, they keep finding each other - after school, after work, after everything falls apart again. This is a story about two kids who don't know how to ask for help - and the quiet, unspoken love that teaches them how.

Despite her fractured heart, her love for Garren is as consuming as it is unrequited, but she refuses to let him-or anyone-see the cracks beneath her glowing exterior. ♱ 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙆𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙝, the adopted brother of the rugby sensation, Johnny Kavanagh, has an undeniable streak of leaving women heartbroken, partying until the sun comes up, and disregarding even the thought of a relationship. Though, he'd be lying if he said that Delancey Gibson wouldn't be able to walk him like a dog, despite not being a couple-Garren is fiercely protective over baby Gibs, though nothing would ever be able to happen between them. But denying what he really feels is starting to take its toll, and the forbidden fruit might just prove too tempting to resist. male!oc! x female!oc!

Quinn Molloy has never had the spotlight. It's always been owned by her sister, Aoife. Quinn and Aoife's bond is quite literally unbreakable, they do everything together. She's had a little friend group, that consists of Lizzie Young, Hughie Biggs, Patrick Feely, and Katie Wilmot, since she was a little girl. Aoife on the other hand has started hanging out with Joey Lynch, known as Joey the Hurler, who Quinn is not very supportive of. Patrick Feely is called a fuckboy for a reason. He wasn't always like that. He was the little boy who everyone in the neighborhood loved and who Quinn had promised to marry when they were 8. Yeah, that plan didn't go through. It doesn't stop Quinn from wanting him, and vice versa, though.
